• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am saying that the Presidential Escort Unit is currently heavily furnished with very many vehicles. Why is it necessary, in the face of declared frugality, to provide Kshs200 million just for the Presidential Escort Unit? Could the Minister be specific? There are no specialised security items for Presidential Escort which an July 12, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2067 enemy of this country would not know. view

• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: The Assistant Minister needs to take the House very seriously. We live in Nairobi. I do not know where the Assistant Minister comes from. I do not know where the road works the Assistant Minister has referred to are located. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the status of roads in Eastleigh area is terrible. Only Juja Road, which was done by the Ministry of Roads and Public Works, is passable. view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister confirm or deny that the Nairobi City Council has abandoned its responsibility of road construction and maintenance to the Constituencies Development Fund? view

• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me state that I am opposing this Motion and with good reasons. The Minister is requesting for Kshs28 billion to finance his programme for this year. This is the Ministry that is in charge of security, but I think it can be rightly described as the "Ministry of Insecurity." This is because the insecurity in the country is rising by the day. When a country reaches a stage where a Cabinet Minister is carjacked, and yet he has armed security officers with him, then something is terribly wrong. When a police officer is found ... view

• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, corruption has increased several fold. If you look at the corruption index which was released by the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) last week, this Ministry is top on the list. It is interesting to note that the report cites the Office of the President as leading in corruption. It is followed by the Provincial Administration, Department of Immigration, the Police and others. Why should this be the case? That is the reason why we wanted a devolved system of Government, which that side has been consistently opposing. The over-concentration of power in the hands of ... view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not describing the character of an hon. Member; I am talking about his actions. I am perfectly in order, according to our Standing Orders, to talk about the actions of an hon. Member, and not the conduct! view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenyans woke up one morning to something very bizarre - the raid on The Standard Newspapers premises and Kenya Television 1958 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 11, 2006 Network (KTN). That was the most despicable act. Two days later, everybody was shocked to hear an hon. Minister of Government saying: "If you rattle a snake, you must expect to be bitten by it."
